The NFL will therefore have waited until the last moment to organize the meetings for the last week of the 2024 regular season.
The last match will be the clash between the Lions and the Vikings, with first place in the NFC conference at stake, and therefore a week of rest in the playoffs. As a reminder, Detroit knocked out Minnesota in the first game.
The remote matchup for the NFC South division title will take place Sunday at 7 p.m., with Atlanta traveling to Carolina and the Buccaneers visiting the Saints.
Joe Burrow's Bengals will throw their last hopes into the fight from Saturday night to Sunday, before hoping for a defeat for the Broncos the next day at 10:25 p.m. against the Chiefs.
